The "hotel" is a series of mine worker´s barracks, situated in the near proximity of the main building, where you´ll find a reception, gift shop and restaurant. The rooms are very basic and not up to a traditional definition of a hotel room. Bed linens, pillows, etc. are low quality and uncomfortable.
The only furniture in our room – other...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Morten and we are sorry you felt that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We are currently in the process of completing refurbishment on our final barrack which will re-open early next year though have made a note of your comment regarding the broken light. We are...

Staying in Longyearbyen can be expensive. The Coal Miners Cabins offers a very good value for the area.
Good
- Though the rooms have shared bathrooms there were always plenty of bathrooms available for the number of rooms on each floor. Also a common sitting area in the building.
- Rooms comfortable, clean, and warm
- Staff extremely helpful -...

We didn't enjoy our stay there because we could not sleep there. We paid for the night however we could not use the room because the smell of mold or humidity (we don't know what it was) was too much and one of us had an asthma attack. It was the first time we had this kind of problem, however...

I booked in here for 2 days before an Arctic expedition of Svalbard and Greenland and wish I'd stayed longer. It's actually not in Longyearbyen but in Nybyen, about a 10 mins walk out of town. The only problem with walking in or out of town is the risk of polar bears at certain times of the year but shuttle...

I had a very Nice stay at Coal Miners Cabin during my vacation on Svalbard.
This is my first stay at Coal Miners Cabin after it was renovated and changed its name from Spitsbergen Guesthouse to Coal Miners Cabin,and I really like the new Retro-style decoration on the interior and its bathrooms.
The food at the restaurant is very tasty...

I stayed here with my dad for a couple of nights before we boarded our expedition ship. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms were warm and cosy. There were shared bathrooms but these were very clean and plentiful so no queuing was necessary. Breakfast was delicious and we ate in the restaurant one evening-also delicious. I'd...

We were in Longyearbyen on a work trip, passing through to Ny Alesund and were put up in the Coal Miner's Cabins. The rooms are simple but comfortable with shared facilities. The corridors are a bit noisy and by the very nature of the Arctic in the summer there are people up and about at all times of the day...

I really enjoyed every minute of my stay at coal miner cabins. The rooms are quite basic but kind of cute in a rustic sort of way, and there's a bus from/to the airport for every flight. It's a short walk into town, and all the excursions pick you up from your hotel. You can book some excursions in the...

All crews are very polite and helpful, the bedroom are clean and tidy, restaurant provide delicious food with comfortable atmosphere. Cost are lower then main city in Norway mainland. Very reasonable price hotel in Longyearbyen. If we have chance to go to Svalbard again, that will be our first choice.
A walking distance to city center in sunny summer, cool...

We chose this place,because we didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on accommodation in Svalbard (and camping seemed a bit too adventurous for our older bones). The rooms are basic (2 beds,wardrobe, desk and a chair),but clean. Curtains are a bit thin for an eternal summer day, but it did not bother our sleep. Bathrooms are shared,...

Coal Miners' Cabins offers reasonably priced accommodation, located in the upper part of the Longyear valley and within reach of mountains and glaciers. The place is an excellent starting point for hiking, skiing and snowmobile trips. Coal Miners' Cabins is the place to stay for those who want to get the real experience of the mining period on Svalbard. Coal Miners' Cabins is located in Nybyen, Longyearbyen's small "suburb" is within walking distance from downtown....more less
